And they lived platonically ever after…

Denial-Acceptance

So here’s the thing. Right now everyone’s fix-it fics, though they are lovely and beautifully written and heartfelt, are making me cry, because I do NOT accept any ending for Abbie (or Sleepy Hollow in general) that does not involve her LIVING and PREVAILING and getting to live a long and satisfying life. Damn it, Abbie should at least have what Buffy had at the end of Season 7–which for all the flaws of the last few seasons ended with its heroine smiling into a wide-open future.

Abbie lives. I refuse to believe anything else. Season 3 didn’t happen because 20-20 hindsight I can see it was nothing but setting up an ending I do not and will not accept. 

So who’s with me on the USS Denial? Point me to the fics, old and new, that show what SHOULD’VE happened. Help me come to a peaceful place of denial.

I will start the ball rolling with a link to a short piece I did over the winter that I fully admit is tooth-rotting fluff. I’m posting it because it’s chronologically the last thing I wrote for Ichabbie–a sort of epilogue to my Trust & Love set approximately 7 years from now:

Anyone? Anyone? Help?

Or millions of roaches???? Ick...

All animals go to heaven is just illogical planning. You’re telling me every crocodile that ever lived is in heaven? Heaven must be swarming crocodiles. Does that sound like heaven to you? Thousands of millions of crocodiles?

SLEEPY HOLLOW | A Pleasure from “Dawn’s Early Light" 

So many media creators don’t realize they have incredible power.

They think it’s a game. An entertainment. A trifle.

They don’t see that they make the world. They give people hope, despair, a reason to get through one more week. They give us a chance to see ourselves – emotionally or physically – on screen.

They think their vision matters more than the people who watch. Who pay them their salaries. Who care until it hurts.

I think my finale takeaway to the Sleepy Hollow writers is this: You mattered to people.

Maybe you thought your show was stupid. But God, it mattered.

And you hurt people tonight. And with your casual cruelties to Nicole over the last two seasons. 

Whether it’s The 100 or The Walking Dead or Sleepy Hollow, what we see on our screen matters so much. 

Maybe it’s just a job to you. But you are causing true harm.
